Book excerpt: In the 19th century conditions of rural life in the Middle East were revolutionized. But the traditional preoccupation in Muslim societies with urban culture means that the study of rural life has been comparatively neglected. In this book, available in paperback for the first time, Raouf Sa'd Abujaber does much to redress the balance. He describes how cultivators, among them his own ancestors, moved eastwards into tribal lands across the Jordan and changed the use of land from pastoralism to settled agriculture. The agricultural cycle, relations between landowners and peasants, and the marketing of produce are illustrated through a series of case studies, including that of the author's own family estate. Drawing extensively on family papers, as well as British, Jordanian, Ottoman and French sources, this book should make a valuable contribution to the literature on historical geography and the social history of the Middle East.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internationally renowned for its pioneering role in the ecological restoration of tallgrass prairies, savannas, forests, and wetlands, the University of Wisconsin Arboretum contains the world’s oldest and most diverse restored ecological communities. A site for land restoration research, public environmental education, and enjoyment by nature lovers, the arboretum remains a vibrant treasure in the heart of Madison’s urban environment. Pioneers of Ecological Restoration chronicles the history of the arboretum and the people who created, shaped, and sustained it up to the present. Although the arboretum was established by the University of Wisconsin in 1932, author Franklin E. Court begins his history in 1910 with John Nolen, the famous landscape architect who was invited to create plans for the city of Madison, the university campus, and Wisconsin state parks. Drawing extensive details from archives and interviews, Court follows decades of collaborative work related to the arboretum’s lands, including the early efforts of Madison philanthropists and businessmen Michael Olbrich, Paul E. Stark, and Joseph W. “Bud” Jackson. With labor from the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s Depression, University of Wisconsin scientists began establishing both a traditional horticultural collection of trees and plants and a completely new, visionary approach to recreate native ecosystems. Hundreds of dedicated scientists and staff have carried forward the arboretum’s mission in the decades since, among them G. William Longenecker, Aldo Leopold, John T. Curtis, Rosemary Fleming, Virginia Kline, and William R. Jordan III. This archival record of the arboretum’s history provides rare insights into how the mission of healing and restoring the land gradually shaped the arboretum’s future and its global reputation; how philosophical conflicts, campus politics, changing priorities, and the encroaching city have affected the arboretum over the decades; and how early aspirations (some still unrealized) have continued to motivate the work of this extraordinary institution.

Book excerpt: This book explores the lives of John H. Jordan and the Haney family. John Jordan, the son of an Irish immigrant, was born in Ohio in 1827 and followed the Santa Fe Trail to the Southwest when he was twenty years old, befriending Kit Carson. His journeys eventually took him to the California Gold Rush in 1849 before he settled in Salem, Oregon and eventually homesteaded in Morrow County in Eastern Oregon. He married Missouri Haney, who immigrated from war torn Missouri in 1862 over the Oregon Trail when she was seven years old. The book describes the conditions the Haney's faced in Civil War Missouri before their trek across the Oregon Trail and examines the hardships they had to overcome when they homesteaded on Rhea Creek in Morrow County, Oregon. Biographical in nature, it traces the lives of John and Missouri (Haney) Jordan and their descendants. Included in the book is an essay by Letty Mabel (Haney) Puyear titled "A True Saga of a Pioneer Family." Letty Mabel grew up on Rhea Creek and in Ione, Oregon. She was born in 1885, the daughter of Joseph Haney and Margaret King. She gives a first-hand account of the lives of her pioneer family. Also, excerpts from an interview with Fred Lockley by Sterling Price Haney describe the area and its citizens. A bibliography and index were included to help the reader for future research.This is my first book and was written to condense the 19 years of research I have done on these families into one book. Other surnames focused on are Burroughs, Puryear/Puyear, Price, King and Ray.The book contains over seventy photographs from the collections of Missouri (Haney) Jordan, Mary Jo (Price) Piatt, John Hamilton Ray, Sharon Beecroft and the Morrow County Museum in Heppner, Oregon, as well as others. Eight family trees help sort out the relationships.The local histories of Livingston County, Missouri (1850-1862), the Pacific Northwest (1849-1942) and specifically Morrow County, Oregon (1859-1935) provide the setting for the struggles these pioneers endured.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, black players compose more than eighty percent of the National Basketball Association?s rosters, providing a strong and valued contribution to professional basketball. In the first half of the twentieth century, however, pro basketball was taintedøby racism, as gifted African Americans were denied the opportunity to display their talents. ø Through in-depth interviews with players, their families, coaches, teammates, and league officials, Ron Thomas tells the largely untold story of what basketball was really like for the first black NBA players, including recent Hall of Fame inductee Earl Lloyd, early superstars such as Maurice Stokes and Bill Russell, and the league?s first black coaches. They Cleared the Lane is both informative and entertaining, full of anecdotes and little-known history. Not all the stories have happy endings, but this unfortunate truth only emphasizes how much we have gained from the accomplishments of these pioneer athletes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some time before these messages were given, desiring to be quiet and away from many things, I went down into the country with my heart very much to the Lord for His word. In the early hours of the morning it seemed as though the heavens opened and everything became alive: it all opened up wonderfully, and centered in one phrase – “Pioneers of the Heavenly Way.” That really does sum up the verses (Hebrews 11:13-16)..., and, while we are going to think and perhaps say much about the heavenly way, it is this matter of pioneering the heavenly way that will be our main concern. It is necessary, to begin with, for us to consider to some extent the heavenly way itself, but I repeat that it is this whole tremendous business of pioneering that way that I believe to be the main concern of the Lord, and hence of ourselves, at this time. T.A-S.
